Wow thank you for the quick replies...nope not visiting a boyfriend - he will be worrying about me back at home!

I lived in jeddah before (very strict!) so just wanted to be sure I am not being completely foolish in travelling to qatar alone. It seems most here think I should be fine paying for the visa, providing a residential address of a non relative.

big relief thank you! Any other tips etc would be much appreciated...so simply get off plane, on to bus and join the queue for immigration yep...are there many foreigners arriving into Doha?
